Some happiness post cancer treatment

Hey everyone...I hadn't planned to come on again so soon, but I am just so happy right now and I had to share it with you all. last year was a weird year, I gave birth to my third child, got diagnosed with cancer, had major surgery, then went through 30 radiation treatments (nursing my son through it all, with careful help from a lot of doctors). But this year, my son is weaned, there is no sign of regrowth, and to add to my happiness I am now expecting my fourth child in the fall! I won't say when online...just not something I do, but my husband and I are so very excited.
of course, as soon as that test turned positive I called ALL of my doctors to make sure that the baby and I would be okay. They were all excited for us. we had worked hard to insure that some day in the future we would be able to try for a fourth...I never dreamed it would be so soon post treatment, but I really feel that God has given me a little happiness after so much pain, to remind me that even when things seem down, when things are rough that there can be happiness and joy in the end...you just need a little hope.
Wishing each of you a moment of joy every day...even just one moment can remind you why you fight or why you fought. HUGE HUGS and lots of love!

CONGRATS!!
Elizabeth,
So happy to see your post. I am so glad to hear about how things are going. Wow. Last year was understandably a really hard time. The diagnosis, surgery, treatment, etc. is hard enough to handle on its own, but with children, I can't even imagine.
I have stayed away from the discussion board for a while because it was one way for me to cope - pretend the surgery, treatment didn't happen. But when I come back on here I am truly inspired by the strength that so many of you have. Elizabeth, you inspire me. I am so very happy for you and I wish you and your family a world of good health and happiness.
Huge hug to you as well,
Agatha -

I cant wait to hear if it's a boy or girl.
